Try using plughw:0,0 instead of hw:0,0 as the pcm device (second arg
to audio.source and audio.sink.  plughw:0,0 should send something (not
sure what) to all i/os.  Not sure of the performance impact.  A bit of
measuring with oprofile will reveal all.

It sounds like a fix for the Delta-44 ALSA driver is in order too.
This assumes that the driver can tell the difference between a
Delta-44 and other boards with the same chip set.

You might want to post this question to the JACK or ALSA mailing lists.
